It Takes Three Parsons
to Complete a Telephone Call
The effectiveness of telephone service depends on the
degree of co-operation between three individuals
1. The person calling.
2. The operator.
8. The person called.
Also, it is bound to help the telephone service gener
ally if every subscriber will accord the young women at
the telephone switchboard the same consideration and
courtesy which the operators themselves are always
anxious to show.

of defease, are Joining in the re(in .-t
thai bo flreworki ie used in Nebraska.
on July Fourth this rur. A s!iii-
menl issued t Mr, Rldgell regarding
the matter is as follows:
"We trust thiit the Fourth of .Inly
this year may pass m Nebraska With
out any disastrous tires occurring.
Fireworks are s dangerous, unneces
sary, useless luxury, a waste ol
money In every sense and meaning of
the Word. There an- main safe and
sane ways of celebrating the Fourth
of July without the use of dangerous
explosives, and the lire commission
department has boon for several years
discouraging their use. This Fourth
Of July we are asking that they he
eliminated by the people of Nebraska
entirely. Owing to the war and the
constant fear of treachery, the United
States government requires that any
purchaser of explosives of any kind,
including fireworks, must have a li
cense or permit in order to purchase
same.
"The gorvernment allows the sale
of following fireworks without a li
cense, and while the fire commission
department had previously prohibited
the sale of any fireworks in the state
we concluded finally to conform with
the government's ruling and allow
the following fireworks to be sold and
so others: Chinese firecrackers,
American firecrackers, toy torpedoes,
serpents, sparklers or toy paper capH,
when costing not more than 10 centa
per package.
The dangerous toy balloon is posi
tively forbidden and must not be
sent up.
Council of Defense I'jivses Itcxiliit ion.
" 'Be it resolved, That in view of
the numerous requests for sugges
tions with reference to the proper ob
servance of July Fourth, the Nebras
ka slate council of defense submits
that there never was a time in Ameri
can history when the proper and pa
triotic observance of the nations
birthday anniversary was more ap
propriate or necessary, and we earn
estly urge the people of Nebraska to
make the Fourth a full day of stirring
patriotism, with patriotic mus'C,
plays, speeches, parades and exercises
urging at the same time careful
avoidance of the unnecessary expense
involved in the use of fireworks and
similar items of extravagance long
complained jgainst, and in these days
actuall sinful, if not a crime.'
"Omaha and Lincoln have abso
lutely prohibited the sale and use of
fireworks this year; and we would
like to see every town in the state do
likewise.
"We particularly request all may
ors, fire chiefs and special deputies of
this department to take an activa in
terest n --eeinB that the ruling made
by this department regarding the
use and sale of fireworks :s strictly
obeyed. It would be a grefi.t benefit
to every community if tne mayor .f
every town in the state would issue a
proclamation prohibiting the sale and
us i of fireworks this year.
The following is a table giving the
statistics of fatalities for the nasi fif
teen years in the United BtatOS due
